[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9107212, member: 18"] Yeah, I dislike reviewers being lumped in on the "maybe" vote, because 80% of D&D "reviewers" are, frankly, going to give every D&D product a good review, at minimum, if not a glowing one. Like the absolute meanest thing 80% of D&D "reviewers" are going to say is "Well this product is good but not for everyone". Car crashes like Spelljammer got that kind of review. There's another 20% who might be better but they're mostly either axe-grinders on a specific issue, and their entire review will actually be based on that issue (yes D&D does have the equivalent of "single issue voters"), or they're blatherers who just won't reach any kind of real conclusion, or they're exaggerators who are sometimes truth-tellers, but often just wildly hyperbolic about the rules (yes I'm looking at you, Youtuber with a hat and beard!). What D&D is missing is anyone like, will give us a cold, level-headed assessment of the changes, by uncoloured fannish-ness, axe-grinding, hyperbole, and so on. I'm not saying I could either btw. I am not your man for this. I will get to wrapped up in some dumb element I find impossibly funny because I'm an idiot. [/QUOTE]
